Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze
How could she have fallen for such a trick? How could she have failed to recognize her own daughter? Another person's child was mistaken as her own daughter, causing her biological daughter to suffer immensely all these years, while she herself was delusional and completely unaware. She was truly the biggest fool in the world! Although Natalie didn’t blame her, Ruby couldn’t forgive herself. Ruby even recalled some small details from her pregnancy, but the time was too long ago, and she needed to discuss them with Waylon. Baron, meanwhile, quickly ran the tests on Ruby’s blood. After Yvonne cried herself out, Natalie persuaded her to go back and rest. The children, on the other hand, were sleeping soundly, completely unaffected by these events. Natalie glanced at them. Seeing they were in a deep sleep, she didn't disturb them and walked directly to the living room to sit down. Shauna had received the message and rushed over. "Madam, Mr. Baron is…" "He should be running blood tests for my mother. Do you need him for something?" Natalie knew Shauna wouldn’t look for Baron unless it was important. She quickly stood up to call Baron, but Shauna stopped her. "Madam, since Mr. Baron is busy, telling you is just the same." "What is it?"Natalie asked instinctively. Shauna’s expression was conflicted, but she didn’t hesitate for long. Then, she looked at Natalie and said, "Madam, Jensen is missing." Natalie didn't quite understand what Shauna meant and was still a little dazed. "Who is missing?" "Jensen." Shauna repeated. Natalie instinctively said, "If Jensen is missing, call the police. Why are you looking for Baron? Are you actually thinking Baron had Jensen captured?" After she said this, Shauna quickly replied, "No, it’s because someone saw Alpha leave Jensen’s vicinity, and after that, Jensen disappeared. There is no trace of him, dead or alive. Loretta is completely frantic and is now searching everywhere for Alpha like a mad dog." Only then did Natalie’s mind start working, and she understood the meaning of Shauna’s words. Baron had had a conflict with Jensen earlier, then took the opportunity to slip the disc into Jensen’s pocket, relying on his Luke family identity to get the disc smoothly past everyone’s notice. Then, he ordered Alpha to retrieve the item while Jensen wasn't paying attention. Now, Alpha was the last person to have seen Jensen. Although Natalie didn't know why the Luke family discovered Alpha’s presence, if something had truly happened to Jensen, Alpha would inevitably become the prime suspect. If Baron was implicated in that, it would be troublesome. Thinking of this, Natalie suddenly grew anxious. "How could a living person just suddenly disappear?""I don’t know. Our people haven’t found any trace of Jensen leaving the area either, but he has simply vanished into thin air." Shauna was also frustrated. "Why did he have to get involved in this mess?" Natalie had no positive feelings for Jensen now. If she could, she would completely erase him from her mind. But clearly, she couldn’t right now. For Baron's sake, she couldn't ignore it. "If it were Baron, what would he do?" Shauna had followed Baron for so many years and would definitely have some thoughts. Baron was busy running blood tests for Ruby and Natalie didn't know how long it would take. She didn't want him to be distracted right now. Hearing Natalie’s question, Shauna thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Baron actually doesn’t care much about the life or death of others, especially a love rival like Jensen. But since this involves Alpha, Mr. Baron can’t ignore it. How about I send Alpha away? Our influence is mainly in Murica. As long as Alpha gets back to Murica, it won’t be so easy for anyone to falsely accuse him." Natalie’s brow furrowed. She believed Jensen’s disappearance had nothing to do with Baron. Although Baron disliked Jensen, he wouldn't do something like this to him; he was the type to settle scores right away. If Alpha fled, it would make them look guilty. "If Alpha is captured, would he betray Baron?" Natalie couldn't help but ask. Shauna shook her head. "Alpha is a dark guard, exclusively loyal to Mr. Baron. These people were adopted and raised by Mr. Baron since childhood. They would absolutely never betray Mr. Baron." "Then arrange for Alpha to stay here. If Loretta insists on coming here to demand him, let her provide the evidence. Otherwise, no one will touch Alpha! And no one will be allowed to throw mud at Baron!" Natalie immediately decided. Looking at the somewhat authoritative Natalie, Shauna felt very reassured. She had initially thought Natalie’s personality was too soft and that she might be easily bullied. Now, it seemed Natalie was also growing stronger.
